Institute of Mining and Metallurgy it was reported that the total value of

but it was said to be partly due to the fact that prices are now at high
levels However, there vere also indications of increases in the volume
of production, and it was announced that Canada holds first position in
the production of nickel, platinum and asbestos, second in gold and zinc,

Association To

TORONTO; — The decision of the
Canadian Good Roads Associattion
to hold their 30th annual conven-
tion at Lake Louise, Alberta, on
Sept. 12, 13 and 14 next, has proved
exceedingly popular among highway
engineers and government repre-
sentatives in the eastern provinces.
Already a surprisingly large number
of reservations have been made for
the chateau Lake Louise, which will
be the headquarters of this domin-
ion-wide gathering,

At least nine of the ten provinces
will be officially represented by min-
isters of highways or public works
and gates.

Interesting H istory

Alberta Is Named After
Daughter Of Queen Victoria

(By Duncan Innes in

the Edmonton Journal)

The growing fame of Alberta makes the origin of its name of

increasing interest.

Names of the Royal family are sprinkled over

the map of Canada from Prince Edward Island on the east to
the Queen Charlotte Islands and the city of Victoria on the west.
Our own province was named after a Royal princess who lived in
Canada and loved it, too, by her own testimony.

In the past there was some con-
troversy about the origin of the
name Alberta, but if any doubts still
exists it should be dispelled by the
reading of a letter now carefully
preserved in the Archives of the
Province of Alberta.

= * * *

Because of the uncertainty which
formerly existed, a letter of inquiry
was sent overseas. It brought back
this reply:

Kensington Palace,
Sept. 13, 1924,

To Mr. John D. Higinbotham,

Sir:—You are perfectly correct in
your belief that the beautiful, sunlit
and prosperous Province of Alberta
Was named after me by my husband,
the Marquis of Lorne, the then Gov-
ernor General of Canada. He was
asked to name it, as it was wished
that the name should be associated
with his tenure of office, There being
various objections to my first name,
owing to the difficulty of keeping it
quite original, he decided to call it
after my last name, Alberta, of
which he was very fond. Indeed, he
mostly called me by it, or abridged
it to Alba.

I am intensely proud of this most
beautiful and wonderful province
being called after me, and that my
husband should have thought: of it.
It would (it strikes me) be a pity
not to stick to historical facts, and I
do not quite understand what other
interpretation could be found, to
which you refer in your letter, I was
named Alberta after my father.

Yours sincerely,
Louise.

* *

The Louise who wrote the letter
was the Princess Louise, daughter
of Queen Victoria and Prince Con-
sort of Alberta after whom she was
named, Alberta.

Her husband, the Marquis of Lorne,
later Duke of Argyll, was the fourth
Governor General of Canada. He held

~ *

office from 1878 to 1883 when the
West was assuming real importance
and the building of a railway to the
Pacific Coast was of great public
interest in Canada,

Mr. Higinbotham, to whom the let-
ter was addressed, was a well known
citizen of Lethbridge. Together with
a group of others in that city, he
took a deep interest in the history
of our province.

The name, Alberta, was given first
to one of the four territories into
which the prairies were then divided.
In 1905, two of the names, Alberta
and Saskatchewan, were names giv-
en to the provinces which feplaced
the former territories.

While the name Louise was not
thought suitable for a territory and
province to be, its appropriateness
for the famous and lovely Lake
Louise is unquestionable,

Thus the Princess Louise Caroline
Alberta has her name_ enshrined
doubly on the maps of this province.
Who can deny that she deserved the
honor when it is realized that, at a
comparatively early date, she recog-
nized the greatness of this land?

The issuance on June 6 of five new
stamps, one cent to five cents, fea-
turing King George VI in civilian
dress, mark the first regular Cana-
dian issue without ornate decoration,
and without the words “Postage”
and “Postes’. The new stamps re-
place the present values issued dur-
ing the war, and featuring the king
in naval, army and air force uni-
forms. The new stamps show the
king in various poses from recent
photographs, The wording states
only “Canada” and the value,

This set marks the sixth time the
king has appeared on a postage set
issued by Canada. The first ‘time
was on the silver jubilee stamps for
King George V. He next appeared
on a regular issue of 1937, the year
of his coronation, in civilian dress,
and for the third time on a special
coronation three cents stamp in
military dress along with Queen
Elizabeth. At the time of the royal
visit in 1939, the king and queen
were featured on a special stamp. In
1942: the war effort set appeared
showing the king on the low value
stamps in military uniforms,

On June 21, Canada is to issue a
four cents stamp to mark the 200th
anniversary of the founding of Hali-
fax, The stamp will feature an his-
torical painting by the famous Can-
adian artist C. W. Jeffreys, There
have been few such commemorative
issues in Canadian postal history.

A number of other historical
events have also been recorded on
Canadian stamps. In 1933 a five cents
stamp was issued to mark the first
crossing of the Atiantic Ocean by a
steamboat, from Canada to England
in 1883, The next year there was a
special three cents stamp to mark

the 400th anniversary of Jacques
Cartier’s landing in what is now
Quebec province. That year there

was also a 10 cents stamp to com-
memorate the 150th anniversary of
the United Empire Loyalists coming
to Canada from what is now the

| Beautify Canada By | Beautifying
Your Community

HAT is a beautiful community? That question comes to mind
because of the 1949 National Beautification Campaign. The
Campaign slogan is ‘Beautify Canada By’Beautifying Your Com-
munity’, yet how many of us ever stop to consider just what the
words “beautiful community”’ really signify.

Still, it is not the good fortune of |

the majority to live in such com-
munities, but with the “ideal” as a
yardstick perhaps we can promote
improvements in our own communi-
ties’ which will make them bette
happier, more efficient places in
which to live,

The heart of a community would
seem to be the shopping center. It
is the responsibility of the local
merchants to make it as pleasing a
district as possible. New store fronts
may be too costly to consider, but
a little paint can do much to im-
prove the outward appearance, In-
wardly, a store can be as streamlined
as tomorrow, as pleasing and con-
venient a place to shop as the pro-
prietor desires. Careful
to display materials, and avoiding of
overcrowding on shelves and in
showcases will do much to step up
visual appeal and improve

| Dear Mrs. R. E
| People who build apartme: h
}long, skinny halls should be shot
| Actually, there's no way known to
j man by which you can apprec |
| foreshorten a hall of this type. The
j best you can do is make it more in-
teresting. And since there is no room
|for furniture outside of a possible
} telephone table and chair, you wilt
| have to depend entirely on your walls
for interest.

One good treatment of a consider-

able length of wall like this is the
|panel treatment, It breaks up the
j}expanse and at least delays the eye
jin its long trek into the shadow at
the other end of the hall, For this
treatment, you should choose the
| ‘filling’, or main part, of the pancl
first Select a bold, interes x motif
|for this—preferably in a bright,

| light-giving color since your hall, if
it's like the rest of its ilk, is prob-

ably as dark as a playboy past
Light yellow, pale green, or an) r
jthe mushroom tir would be good

jhere, Then select a background paper
in aefairly plain tone to blend with

{the filling, This should, of course,
blend or contrast pleasantly with
both background and filling

Further interest could be added to

your hall by special treatment of the

Vancouver again, he replied: “Weel,
ye nay kin tell—I may go noo or I
may go back tothe States for a wee

Zorn in Scotland, Scottie came to

WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN

At this time when graduations are taking place, and plans of
the future are being talked over by young men and women going
into the business world the following, a part of the recent “Monthly

Letter” issued by the Royal Bank of Canada, is timely and thought
provoking.

GRADUATING from school and university this spring are youths

who will be Canada’s statesmen, business executives, union
leaders, and master craftsmen. Others will be her doctors, sur-
geons, lawyers, engineers and research wizards. Thousands will
become clergymen and teachers. Some will represent Canada to
the world in their music, art and writing.

Nobody now living knows who they are, or how their development will
come about. When their formal education ends, they are on their 6wn,
and who gets where and how soon is up to them, But one thing is certain:
there are places of honour and usefulness to be filled, and some of this
year’s graduates are going to fill them,

Events are shaping now, this very month, bringing into being new
professions and new careers. There is no need for young men and young
women to go looking for some wonderland, There are enthralling jobs to
be done, exciting solutions to be found, on this side of the Looking Glass
|and at this end of the Rabbit Hole, if youths will put their minds—and
bend their backs—to the job.

This Monthly Letter is dedicated to young people in search of a future.

Their School Commencement is a point of departure. They have reached
maturity in the eyes of their families and friends, They are on their own,
and must justify the faith of their parents, From here on it is their own
} ability, energy, initiative and enterprise that count,
These are things that count particularly in a young country like Can-
ada. Enterprise and initiative must be a living part of a developing coun-
try—enterprise to find new resources or new uses for known resources,
and initiative to develop the opportunities into actualities,

Canada’s is not a static system. Compare the living standard of today
with that of two generations ago, and it becomes evident that in even the
humblest home today the comforts of life far exceed anything even dream-
ed of then. Who brought it about? Men and women who had less educa-
tion, fewer open doors to life activities, and a smaller store of general
knowledge, than any graduate of 1949.

People Count Most

Some persons are given to talking about the precarious nature of Can-
ada’s economy. They say we are too dependent upon foreign markets, too
close to this nation and too far away from that, too much divided geo-
graphically by mountains and likes, and ideologically by languages and
creeds, .

These people miss the point; they ate timid and misguided people
looking for things to blame rather than for people to achieve things, For-
eign trade depends upon our ability to sell in competitive markets, and
that in turn depends upon inventiveness and enterprise, which in their
jturn are in the hands of people. It is upon people, not upon conditions,
|that the future of Canada turns, And those people, in terms of the next
| fifty years, are this year’s school.-and university graduates,

We said Canada’s economy is not static. Why, in 1948 alone there
| Was capital investment in this country to the amount of $3,000,000,000,
| This went into new buildings, machinery and equipment. There will be
| upwards of 150 new industries from abroad established in Canada in 1949,
Every dollar of investment means more opportunity for young people.
Every dollar of investment is backed by the judgment of astute men that
it is justified by Canada’s prospects,

Don't just think of big things like automobiles, electric
| power and telephones, Try to count all the little things which are big
| businesses today: fountain pens, typewriter ribbons, snapshot films, adver-
| tisements, gramophone needles ... thousands of vest-pocket size things
| that were thought up by young men and women of imagination, put into
| production by young men and women of daring, and have given employ-
|ment to hundreds of thousands of persons,

The little things are still important, but look also at television, air
conditioning, civilian aviation, electronics, food freezing, and atomic en-
ergy. These furnish a fertile field to the imagination and initiative of
eager young brains of today. As someone has said; The greatest undevel-
oped territory in the world lies under your hat,

About Ambition

Who are going to win and hold the key positions in new industries
| ten, twenty or thirty years from now? We would say the young people
who are now completing their formal education, who approach life on their
own with ambition, energy and enterprise.

Douglas Jerrold, who wrote the inimitable Mrs. Caudle’s Curtain Lec-
tures for “Punch”, put an amusing face on ambition, “Without ambitious
| people, the world would never get up,” he wrote. “They are busybodies
who are about early in the morning, hammering, shouting, and rattling the
| fire-irons, and rendering it generally impossible for the rest of the house
to remain in bed.”

That more or less, what Canada needs of her young men and
women, Ambition is what makes people dissatisfied with theif present
level and eager to climb to a higher level, and, moreover, supplies the
energy, the red blood, to make the effort. It isn’t the kind of desire shown
by Bottom, the star comedian_in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, who
| wanted to play Pyramus, Thisbe and the lion—he wanted to be the whole
show. The finest kind of ambition is concentrated, and is directed to some-
thing worthy.

There are two warnings to be noted. The first is that ambition means
more than mere envy of successful men; there must be real effort and
| work to back up the desire. The second was given by Sir Walter Scott.in
“Kenilworth”, Queen Elizabeth gave Raleigh a diamond ring, with which
| he wrote on a window-pane: “Fain would I climb, but that I fear to fall.”
| The Queen completed the couplet by writing with her diamond: “If thy
mind fail thee, do not climb at all.”

Setting Your Objective

What do you want? What do you want to be?

These are vital questions. Unless you can answer them specifically
| and with determination you are starting to play a game already lost, Un-
}less you can say with some “oomph” in your voice: “I am going to get

(whatever it is you want most) and I am going to be (the kind of person
|} you greatly wish to be)” . Unless you can lay the answers in the
line there will be few persons of importance interested in you, and you
| have nothing in which to be interested,

| Your objective must be specific, concrete and definite. It needs to be
} cast in some special field, having in mind a particular achievement in that
| field. You are not doing yourself justice (let alone adding to the welfare
| of mankind) if you are content to take a job because the work will not
be too hard and the salary will be sufficient to allow you to entertain an
occasional “date”, If you start out that way you will still be in search
of a job at fifty.

Having an objective is no mere willingness to receive. It is something
purposeful and creative, backed by energy, There must be something
immediate about it, but this nearby objective should be merely a step to-
ward. an ultimate goal so far away that you can see it only vaguely.
Otherwise you will bounce around from job to job until at 35 you suddenly
wake up to the fact that you have only ten more years in which to make
good

For those who will take the time to ponder it, here is a thought-pro-
voking piece of advice from Henry Ford: “Make your program so long and
so hard that the people who praise you will always seem to you to be
talking about something very trivial in comparison with what you are
really trying to do,”

Seeking Advancement

Right now is the time to determine that you will never give in to
j inertia, Just as soon as you are content to sit complacently satisfied with
a modest success, men you graduated with will start to pass you. People
have many excuses for settling down, ceasing to study, and “getting fun

', Let us look at some of them,

out of life”,
I am too young. Alas! the irrevocable march of years will soon mend
this excuse, It is well to have in mind that while a man may learn any-

thing he wants to up to the time when his mentality decays, the peak of
learning capacity is before 25, The wise youth will take advantage of his

| greatest learning ability.

I have no time, Use of time consists in a choice between this and that,
}and the choice is free to everyone, One man who realized his need for
| study analysed his time expenditure, By giving up the comic pages in
two newspapers he added twenty minutes a day to his life for studious
| reading; two hours a week; 13 days of eight hours each saved in a year

It is too dull, Learning may be dull stuff if done unintelligently Poli-
| tics, travel, philosophy may not be in your line of interest, but there are
a thousand other paths to be explored, and somewhere there is one that
| will lead along your line of interest toward success in your chosen field.

It is too hard, It is not easy tasks that demonstrate our ability, and
the ambitious youth will not be satisfied with the jobs he can do easily.
Henry Drummond said wisely: “Unless a man undertakes more than he
| possibly can do, he will never do all that he can do,”
| I have become discouraged, This is a feeling common to all of us,
and something that must be overcome by the spirit within us, Often,
there is nothing definite one can point to as a cause, Discouragement can
be like the Great Boyg in “Peer Gynt”; The mild, invisible, limp monster
that held him prisoner, seeming so hopeless to fight against,

Graduates of other years may say I am too old, This is a fallacy that
holds back many an able man. He may have taken a wrong turning—a
mistake we are trying to head off for this year’s graduates—and he may
| seemingly have reached one of those dead ends, But thousands of his-
torical cases show that never is one too old to do something worth while;

OUR COMPLETE SHORT STORY—

“ADORATION

HOOTING BADE felt his heart

beat fast as he tried to get over
to Rosa Belle’s house without being
seen by Frogging Pete. As he slid
around the corner of Uncle Bod’s
house, he could still see Frogging
Pete sitting on the porch across the
way with his soles turned up, his
torn overalls just licking his shanks
and his eyes raised to a level that}
took in a line of shrubbery.

When he reached the back, he
cotld still hear the mouth organ and
knew that Pete hadn’t moved. He
wiped a couple of bees from his bare
arm. Funny about bees; some they
stung and some they didn’t. Look
at the way they crawled all over him
and Uncle Bod while anyone else ...

Shooting Bade reached the far
corner, where he could see Rosa
Belle’s porch, Out back, Black Mame
was doing the washing but on the
porch was Rosa Belle with her hair
all wavy and shiny. All that separ-
ated him from Rosa Belle now was
a vacant lot but the lot was in full
view of Frogging Pete if he took his |
eves from the shrubbery. Shooting |
Bade crouched low so as not to draw |
Pete's eyes.

He reached the porch and spoke
softly, “Hello, Rosa * er agal Rosa
Belle’s voice was belllike but she}
didn’t move, nor did the hound dog |
at her feet. Rosa Belle didn't move
because the sound of the mouth or-
gan had stopped and Frogging Pete
was climbing up the other side of
the steps. She sat, favoring neither
one nor the other. Rosa Belle could

sit like that for hours—until one of
them got up and went away.
Shooting Bade sat whistling

through his teeth and: Pete took out
his mouth organ and played, Shoot-
ing Bade fixed his eyes on a lizard
im the sand. He thought of himself
and Rosa Belle going out along the
scrub woods back of Uncle Bod’s.

Pete blew bar of “Swanee’’.

OTTAWA. — Canada is head-

by the Dominion Travel Bureau

as officials started to add up

higher than last year,

Official figures issued by the pro-

showed 95,000 new licenses have ,
been issued since April 1 for the
1949-50 license year. This is an in-
crease of 6,500 over the same period

The number increased by more
than 2,000 in the last three months
f the license year.

With greater traffic in prospect
this year and indications that there
will be heavier buying of new
model passenger cars, provincial
officials are confident that all re-
cords will be exceeded.

During recent weeks, thousands
| of license plates and drivers lic-

of the A.M.A. in Edmonton, Calgary
and Lethbridge. This service has
been greatly appreciated by memb-
ers of the A.M.A. who now look for-

convenient and prompt service.

Members have also sent their or-
ders for new license plates by mail,
even from district points in the U.S.

children under 11 years
old).

able at any bank, is re-

ada amounts exceeding $10
U.S. or $25 U.S. and Cana-

nearly seven billion dollars in the chartered banks.

To pay for work done, goods produced, bought and

sold, Canadians issue — every month — upwards of

six billion dollars in cheques.

Cashing these cheques, making loans, discounting

notes —in many different ways your bank keeps money

and credit moving through all the channels of trade

and opportunity . . . like oil in the machinery.

This whole vast, private, competitive, efficient process is

made possible by your ‘‘money in the bank”

~and

by the experience and skill and integrity of the

men and women on Canadian bank staffs.
